I'm a turbo putter so when I saw your post I had to check this thing out. I would love to get this thing and try it out, but I'm a little afraid I'll love it and get so use to it and then wouldn't know what to do if I was in a tournament since it's banned by pdga. From what I read its soft rubbery and very grippy so that should answer your questions. If you get one post how it works out.
